Qinzhou government office.
Qin Hongxue led the Long Guards directly to the government office and asked people to start settling Qinzhou's accounts.
The entire land of Qinzhou has been occupied by Li Hongji for more than a year, and government affairs have long ceased to exist.
Moreover, after Li Hongji became big, he didn't even keep accounts and robbed food whenever he ran out, even from bandits near Qinzhou.
This man killed officials, wealthy businessmen, and local big families, and he showed no mercy at all.
This is also the reason why Yue Hongling was able to put down the rebellion quickly.
Li Hongji was acting recklessly under the banner of the rebel army. Why would Li's army have food to eat when it comes?
As a result, I followed Li Hongji and had one meal but no next meal.
It doesn't last long at all.
I haven't taken a shower for several days, and I just experienced another big battle.
Yue Hongling made some arrangements and left the rest to those who followed her.
They are all people who were trained by Yue Shan in the past and were personally taught by the Yue family's staff and disciples.
He has no official position, but he has prestige in this army.
Naturally, Yue Hongling went to the backyard and asked the two maids accompanying her to boil the bath water and take a bath comfortably.
Just after washing, and just as he was about to look at the accounts, he heard a report from his subordinates that Qin Hongxue, a wealthy businessman from the capital, was outside asking for an audience.
Yue Hongling asked doubtfully: "What brings her here?"
One of the officers, Mo Xuanji, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Young General, after this person killed Xue Baichuan and Jia Haolei, he went to the East Palace in person to ask for an audience with the Crown Prince."
"I thought that she should be from His Highness the Crown Prince now. She came to Qinzhou this time to help us appease Qinzhou."
Yue Hongling nodded clearly and said, "Then please invite her to the private room for a talk."
Since he is from His Highness the Crown Prince, he naturally wants to meet him.
Qin Hongxue was dressed in Tsing Yi, her lush hair was tied into a heart-shaped bun with jade hairpins, her face was beautiful, her eyebrows were slender, and her flawless face had a gentle and gentle temperament. At this moment, she was still very beautiful and gentle. Delicate.
Yue Hongling changed into a red dress and a Guangzhou embroidered skirt, exuding a heroic spirit and radiant. She was really as beautiful as a spring plum blooming in the snow, and as divine as an autumn husk covered with frost. Her cheeks were melting, the clouds reflected the clear pond, and her eyes were sparkling. , the moon shines over the cold river, the bodies of the twenty-eight beauties look like crispy flesh, with a sword at their waists to kill ordinary people. Her long hair is shawl, tied with a red hairband, looking charming and picturesque.
As soon as she walked in and saw Qin Hongxue sitting in the private room, her bright eyes suddenly lit up. She was such a dignified and elegant sister.
Immediately, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he walked over directly and sat down next to Qin Hongxue.
"Sister, we seem to have met somewhere?"
Qin Hongxue came back to her senses and realized that there was someone sitting next to her, and she quickly stood up to salute.
But Yue Hongling put a hand on his shoulder and held him down.
"Sister, let me tell you, we seem to have met somewhere. Do you know your sister's maiden name?"
The other hand unknowingly held Qin Hongxue's snow-white tender hands and played with them carefully.
Qin Hongxue's face suddenly turned red, her head lowered, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but the other party wouldn't let go.
Heat came to my ears again.
"Sister, I asked you twice, why don't you say anything?"
"Why did you come to see me?"
…
Eunuch Sanbao bowed and handed over his hand. In less than ten days, Eunuch Si Li built the Dongji Office, with official offices, positions, salaries, accounts, secret codes, rules and regulations, etc., and was now preparing to recruit people.
"Your Highness, the Dongji Work Factory has been established and the personnel have been arranged. Now we need to recruit people from outside."
Xiao Yi warned: "When recruiting people in the early stage, you don't need to care too much about the identity of the other person and whether he will be someone else's backbone."
"You just need to hide your identity and issue some tasks."
Finished.
Just take out a piece of paper.
"This is the first task of Dongjishi Factory."
Eunuch Sanbao stepped forward, took it with both hands, went back and opened it, a little unbelievable.
Three thousand coins bought the heads of the robbers from the capital flying on grass.
Is this too expensive?
Moreover, the Jingzhao Mansion has also issued a wanted order for the pursuit of Cao Shangfei, and the government officials are already pursuing it with all their strength.
The Dongchang he had just established would pay such a high price for the head of a thief?
This shot is too generous.
Xiao Yi looked at the puzzled look on Eunuch Sanbao's face and said slowly: "Your Dongchang has never been able to see the sun. It has just been established now and the world doesn't know about it. Besides, you don't have the manpower."
"In this case, I want to spread the word among the green forest and among the people quickly."
"The only way is money."
"At that time, the swordsmen and rangers in Green Forest will all know that there is a mysterious organization in the capital, which is very rich, and in the beginning, it specializes in paying high prices for the heads of thieves, heinous villains and other evildoers."
"A mysterious organization that is rich and just appears like this. Naturally, many people will pay attention to it."
"And you can also take the opportunity to win over the hearts and minds of many loyal people and make them do things for you."
"In this way, the prototype of Dongchang will be born."
"I believe that in the near future, Dongchang will definitely become an existence that makes evil people fearful!"
Xiao Yi planned to build the East Factory.
However, it seems that there is no plan to build it.
Is this still that kind of Dongchang?
Of course it doesn't count, this is not the Dongchang.
Xiao Yi didn't really intend to build such a dongchang from the beginning. There was a real reason why eunuchs didn't take power.
Only then did Eunuch Sanbao understand Xiao Yi's good intentions, and immediately admired him deeply.
Xiao Yi continued: "Yue Hongling is now fighting the rebellion in Longyou Road. Your second task is to use money to buy the lives of some disaster victims in Longyou Road and train them to become Dongchang people."
"At the same time, a wine shop was opened on Longyou Road to serve as Dongchang's local stronghold."
"It needs to be established quickly so that we can inquire about the situation on Longyou Road."
"Although battle reports have been coming, I still want to know more, so I'll leave it to you."
Sanbao knelt down and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will send the news about Longyou Road to the East Palace as soon as possible."
Xiao Yi nodded, "Yes."
After Eunuch Sanbao left, Xiao Yi leaned directly on the chair and pondered for a while.
"Huaiji!"
Eunuch Huaiji, who was guarding outside, walked in, bowed and said, "Your Highness."
Xiao Yi picked up the invitation card on the table and ordered: "Take the invitation card and go to Duke Jiuling's mansion now."
Huaiji: "Here"
Now the steps have been taken.
It is also time to meet Zhang Jiuling, a veteran of three dynasties and the current Grand Master of the Qian Dynasty.
Waited for a while.
Huaiji is back.
Zhang Jiuling agreed to meet in Meiyuan.
The so-called Plum Garden is a small garden built by the Qin family, a wealthy businessman, in one of the buildings in the capital. On weekdays, scholars, bachelors and other scholars from the capital would come here to talk about poetry, compose poems, or read poems and discuss politics.
To put it bluntly, it is a place where scholars can eat, drink, have fun, and be arty. Compared with the Huache Tower, Mingyue Tower, and Qingfeng Tower in the capital, this place can be considered a relatively noble place.
When Xiao Yi arrived at Meiyuan.
Zhang Jiuling was already waiting in the private room on the second floor.
"Wei minister pays homage to His Highness."
Xiao Yi quickly stepped forward, helped Zhang Jiuling up, and said, "You don't need to salute when you see an orphan from now on."
However, Zhang Jiuling said solemnly: "There is a distinction between monarch and ministers, and there is an order of hierarchy. If a minor minister fails to be polite when seeing His Highness, it would be disrespectful. He despises the etiquette and etiquette of Daqian. If he loses the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, how can he be a monarch and his ministers?"
Why does Xiao Yi feel that this veteran is somewhat pedantic?
But he showed a look of great admiration and said solemnly, "I admire you very much for your integrity and uprightness. If all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are as upright as you, why don't you worry about being unhappy in your work?"
Then he supported Zhang Jiuling and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Zhang Jiuling cupped his hands again before sitting down.
Xiao Yi then said calmly: "Mr. Jiuling, I would like to resume the morning court tomorrow."
He didn't intend to be moved by emotion or reason, or denounced Li Linfu's treacherous behavior.
After meeting Zhang Jiuling, I was more or less disappointed.
Just go straight to the point and explain your thoughts.
Zhang Jiuling looked calm, smoothed his gray beard with his right hand, and looked straight at Xiao Yi.
"good."
Xiao Yi frowned and looked at the leisurely Zhang Jiuling.
"Mr. Jiuling, today, in the temples, rotten trees are used as officials, and among the emperors and emperors, beasts and beasts eat their salary, and people with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are in power. The servile and servile people are in power one after another, causing the ruins of the country and the people to be devastated! "
"I am deeply saddened. I couldn't help it before. My father still had the energy to review memorials and govern the world."
"If I were to remonstrate directly, I'm afraid I would be guilty of deceiving the public with my evil words. If I get a few words of flattery from Li Linfu, I might be demoted to a bastard and imprisoned."
"Now, I am the crown prince of the country in charge of the Great Qian Dynasty. I am supposed to eliminate evil and trespassers, uphold the principles of the government, pacify the outside world and pacify the internal affairs, and revitalize the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Therefore, I must implement the morning court matter. Without the morning court, I will not be able to legitimately intervene in the government affairs and directly provide disaster relief."
"However, I am still weak and weak. I am full of ambition but not strong enough. Please give me some advice from Duke Jiuling."
Every word Xiao Yi said was deafening and struck the earth like a sound.
It has been more than twenty days since he obtained the power to supervise the country, almost a month, but he has not even attended the morning court.
It's not that he doesn't want to go, but because he is just the prince who oversees the country. If he wants to reopen the morning dynasty, he must have the support of all the officials. If these officials, including Zhongshu's disciples and the six ministers and ministers, object, it will be useless if he gives an order.
After all, reopening the morning court means that someone has to sit there, listen to the music, and make decisions on the court.
Without going to the morning court, his power to supervise the country could only be to review memorials and slowly make arrangements to seize power.
But that's too slow.
As the saying goes, ten thousand years is too long, seize the day!
Zhang Jiuling seemed to be a little powerless and said slowly: "Your Highness, I saw His Highness's decisiveness in Ganlu Hall that day, and I was actually very happy to see His Highness make a surprise move."
"There is someone who will succeed you."
"However, since Taizu entered the court as a Jinshi and became an official until now, he is already old and has children and grandchildren around his knees to take care of himself."
"Weichen has trouble reading with his eyes, and his ears don't work very well."
"His Royal Highness has great ambitions and wishes to achieve great success in ZTE. Naturally, the humble ministers are very willing to give their full support, but he is not forgiving at this age."
Just when Xiao Yi was about to speak and try his best to persuade, Zhang Jiuling sped up his speech slightly.
"Wei Chen does have a suitable candidate here. With him assisting His Highness, it shouldn't be difficult to resume the morning court."
As soon as Zhang Jiuling finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe walked out from behind the screen.
He bowed and saluted Xiao Yi.
